I have installed the drivers for the WIFI dongle following this guide: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/547276
After installing the driver I VERY rarely can actually connect to the WIFI. feels like once every thousand reboots I get to connect to my WIFI.
The WIFI dongle works on windows perfectly.
I use Ubuntu 22.04.
uname -r results in 5.17.5-051705-generic
here are some of my dmesg logs:
